Chapter 1 Global Issues: Challenges of Globalization A GROWING WORLDWIDE CONNECTEDNESS IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION HAS GIVEN CITIZENS MORE OF A VOICE TO EXPRESS THEIR DISSATISFACTION. In Brazil, Protestors calling for a wide range of reforms marched toward the soccer stadium where a match would be played between Brazil and Uruguay. Learning Objectives 1. 1.1Identify important terms in international relations 2. 1.2Report the need to adopt an interdisciplinary approach in understanding the impact of new world events 3. 1.3Examine the formation of the modern states with respect to the thirty years’ war in 1618 4. 1.4Recall the challenges to the four types of sovereignty 5. 1.5Report that the European Union was created by redefining the sovereignty of its nations for lasting peace and security 6. 1.6Recall the influence exerted by the Catholic church, transnational companies, and other NGOs in dictating world events 7. 1.7Examine how globalization has brought about greater interdependence between states 8. 1.8Record the major causes of globalization 9. 1.9Review the most important forms of globalization 10. 1.10Recount the five waves of globalization 11. 1.11Recognize reasons as to why France and the US resist globalization 12. 1.12Examine the three dominant views of the extent to which globalization exists Revolutions in technology, finance, transportation, and communications and different ways of thinking that characterize interdependence and globalization have eroded the power and significance of nation-states and profoundly altered international relations. Countries share power with nonstate actors that have proliferated as states have failed to deal effectively with major global problems. Many governments have subcontracted several traditional responsibilities to private companies and have created public-private partnerships in some areas. This is exemplified by the hundreds of special economic zones in China, Dubai, and elsewhere. Contracting out traditional functions of government, combined with the centralization of massive amounts of data, facilitated Edward Snowden’s ability to leak what seems to be an almost unlimited amount of information on America’s spying activities. The connections between states and citizens, a cornerstone of international relations, have been weakened partly by global communications and migration. Social media enable people around the world to challenge governments and to participate in global governance. The prevalence of mass protests globally demonstrates growing frustration with governments’ inability to meet the demands of the people, especially the global middle class. The growth of multiple national identities, citizenships, and passports challenges traditional international relations. States that played dominant roles in international affairs must now deal with their declining power as global power is more diffused with the rise of China, India, Brazil, and other emerging market countries. States are i.

Banham (1896) Introduction to Consumer Protection and Product Safety Originally, sales transactions in this country were guided by the principle of caveat emptor(“let the buyer beware”). This led to abusive practices by businesses that sold adulterated food products and other unsafe products. In response, federal and state governments have enacted a variety of statutes that regulate the safety of food, drugs, cosmetics, toys, vehicles, and other products. In addition, governments have enacted consumer financial protection laws that protect consumer-debtors in credit transactions. These laws are collectively referred to as consumer protection laws . consumer protection laws Federal and state statutes and regulations that promote product safety and prohibit abusive, unfair, and deceptive business practices.

Securities were issued and sold to investors with little, if any, disclosure. Fraud in these transactions was common. To respond to this lack of regulation, in the early 1930s Congress enacted federal securities statutes to regulate the securities markets, including the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The federal securities statutes were designed to require disclosure of information to investors, provide for the regulation of securities issues and trading, and prevent fraud. Today, many .

Chapter 13 Law, Ethics, and Educational Leadership: Making the Connection Introduction This chapter presents examples from the ISLLC standards of the relationship between law and ethics. The chapter also provides examples of how knowledge of law and the application of ethical principles to decision making helps guide school leaders through the sometimes treacherous waters of educational leadership. Focus Questions 1. How may ethical considerations and legal knowledge guide school leader decision making? 2. Why is it important to consider a balance between these two sometimes competing concepts? Case Study So Many Detentions, So Little Time Jefferson Middle School (JMS) was the most racially and culturally diverse of the three middle schools in Riverboat School District, a relatively affluent bedroom community within commuter distance of Capital City. Unfortunately, the culture of Jefferson Middle School was not going well. Over the past 5 years, assistant superintendent Sharon Grey had seen JMS become a school divided by an underlying animosity along racial and socioeconomic lines. This animosity was characterized by numerous clashes between student groups, between teachers and students, between campus administrators and teachers, and between teachers and parents. Sharon finally concluded that JMS was a “mess.” After much thought and a few sleepless nights, Sharon as part of her job description made the recommendation to the Riverboat school board to not reemploy Jeremy Smith as principal of JMS. Immediately after the board decision, Sharon organized a search committee of teachers, parents, and campus administrators and began the process of finding the right principal for JMS. The committee finally agreed on Charleston Jones. Charleston was a relatively inexperienced campus administrator but had impressed the committee with his instructional leadership knowledge, intelligence, and youthful energy. However, the job of stabilizing JMS was proving to be more of a challenge than anyone had anticipated. Charleston had instituted a schoolwide discipline plan and had insisted that teachers and school administrators not deviate from the plan. However, he could sense that things were still not right. Animosity among student and parent groups remained just below the surface, ready to erupt at the slightest provocation. Clashes between teachers and students were still relatively frequent. Teachers still blamed one another, school administrators, and the school resource officer for a lack of order in the school. Change was not coming quickly to RMS, and Charleston understood that although school management had improved, several aspects of school culture were less than desirable. Student suspension rates remained high, and parental support was waning. As one of the assistant principals remarked after the umpteenth student referral, “So many detentions, so little time!” Charleston felt the need to talk. He reached for the phone and made an appointment with.

Chapter 10. Political Socialization: The Making of a Citizen Learning Objectives · 1Describe the model citizen in democratic theory and explain the concept. · 2Define socialization and explain the relevance of this concept in the study of politics. · 3Explain how a disparate population of individuals and groups (families, clans, and tribes) can be forged into a cohesive society. · 4Demonstrate how socialization affects political behavior and analyze what happens when socialization fails. · 5Characterize the role of television and the Internet in influencing people’s political beliefs and behavior, and evaluate their impact on the quality of citizenship in contemporary society. The year is 1932. The Soviet Union is suffering a severe shortage of food, and millions go hungry. Joseph Stalin, leader of the Communist Party and head of the Soviet government, has undertaken a vast reordering of Soviet agriculture that eliminates a whole class of landholders (the kulaks) and collectivizes all farmland. Henceforth, every farm and all farm products belong to the state. To deter theft of what is now considered state property, the Soviet government enacts a law prohibiting individual farmers from appropriating any grain for their own private use. Acting under this law, a young boy reports his father to the authorities for concealing grain. The father is shot for stealing state property. Soon after, the boy is killed by a group of peasants, led by his uncle, who are outraged that he would betray his own father. The government, taking a radically different view of the affair, extols the boy as a patriotic martyr. Stalin considered the little boy in this story a model citizen, a hero. How citizenship is defined says a lot about a government and the philosophy or ideology that underpins it. The Good Citizen Stalin’s celebration of a child’s act of betrayal as heroic points to a distinction Aristotle originally made: The good citizen is defined by laws, regimes, and rulers, but the moral fiber (and universal characteristics) of a good person is fixed, and it transcends the expectations of any particular political regime.* Good citizenship includes behaving in accordance with the rules, norms, and expectations of our own state and society. Thus, the actual requirements vary widely. A good citizen in Soviet Russia of the 1930s was a person whose first loyalty was to the Communist Party. The test of good citizenship in a totalitarian state is this: Are you willing to subordinate all personal convictions and even family loyalties to the dictates of political authority, and to follow the dictator’s whims no matter where they may lead? In marked contrast are the standards of citizenship in constitutional democracies, which prize and protect freedom of conscience and speech. Where the requirements of the abstract good citizen—always defined by the state—come into conflict with the moral compass of actual citizens, and where the state seeks to obscure or obliterate t.

Chapter Goals and Objectives Overall – students will learn and understand consequences of complexity in the real-world, and meaningful ways to understand and manage such situations the implications of complexity and that many social systems are unpredictable by nature, especially when in the presence of structural change (transitions) natural tendency to criticize the approaches that ignore difficulties and pretend to predict using simplistic models that managing a complex system requires a good understanding of the dynamics of the system in question—to know, before they occur, some of the real possibilities that might occur and be ready so they can be reacted to as responsively as possible. 4. Policymaking and modeling in a complex world the word “complexity” can be used to indicate a variety of kinds of difficulties identification of complexity and uncertainty in policy-making in very simple physical systems, interactions may give rise to complex behavior, expressed in different types of behavior, ranging from very stable to chaotic reasons why complex adaptive systems have a strong capacity to self-organize two of the ways systems are oversimplified: quantification and compartmentalization models are assessed by their ability to predict/mirror observed aspects of the environments 5.

Chapters 15 & 16 Short Term Scheduling & Kanban The 3-18 month aggregate plan is used to make the weekly master production plan. The short term schedule assigns work to specific work centers. Scheduling goals are: Minimize completion time Maximize equipment utilization Minimize work-in-process (WIP) inventory In manufacturing, we typically schedule the final operation 1st to meet the due date. Prior steps in the sequence of work (i.e. routing) are scheduled in reverse order. In finite loading jobs are assigns to work centers only up to their capacity (customer due dates may need to be pushed out). Finite loading depends on knowing capacity and actual work center performance to achieve Input-Output Control Below is the input portion of an Input-Output Chart. We were supposed to receive 280 parts but actually only received 270. So our cumulative input deviation to plan is -10 pieces at the end of week 6/6. The following week (6/13) we are supposed to receive 280 parts but only 250 show up. So, the cumulative input deviation from plan by week 6/13 is -40 (i.e. the 10 we were short in 6/6 week plus the 30 we were short in 6/13 week) Of the 270 we actually receive, we output 270 (0 cumulative change in backlog) Now lets look at the output portion of the chart. The plan was to make 320 parts. We only made 270 parts. So our cumulative output deviation to plan is -50 pieces at the end of week 6/6. The following week (6/13) we are supposed to make 320 parts but only 270 were made. So, the cumulative output deviation from plan by week 6/13 is -100 (i.e. the 50 we were short in 6/6 week plus the 50 we were short in 6/13 week) Now, let’s put the input and output charts together. In week 6/6 actual input (270 parts) matched out actually output (270), so the cumulative change in backlog was 0. In week 6/13 actual input (250 parts) was exceeded by actually output (270), so the cumulative change in backlog reduced by -20. In week 6/20, we received 280 parts and only output 270 parts. So our backlog increased +10. Considering our backlog was -20, the cumulative change -20..+10 is now -10 It is apparent from our Input-Output Chart, Incoming delivery is supposed to be 280 every week but is actually sporadic (e.g. 250 to 285) We consistently output 270 – but it’s not the 320 we always planned One way to improve input- output performance is by using Gantt Load & Schedule Charts. These show loading, idle times & jobs in process The assignment method allocates tasks to minimize cost (or time) In this example, we have 3 typesetters (A-C) who can each do 3 different jobs (R-34, S-66 and T-50). Which way is the least costly? Step 1a: Subtract the smallest number from each row Step 1b: Subtract the smallest number from each column -6 from 11,14 & 6 -8 from 8,10 & 11 -7 from 9,12 & 7 -0 from 5,0 & 2 -2 from 8,2 & 5 -0 from 0,3 & 0 3+2=5 Because three lines are.

Chapters 14 & 15 the ending of relationships Uncoupling – the series of stages by which couples (whether married or cohabiting) move toward ending the relationship Suggested stages:DissatisfactionAttempts at changeTurning elsewhere Further distancing ResolutionInforming the other partnerAcknowledging the ending marital endings 4 ways a marriage can end: Desertion – one spouse simply abandons the marriage and the family has no subsequent contact Separation – married partners decide to no longer live together Annulment – a pronouncement that declares that a couple never had a valid marriageReligiousCivil (usually for fraud) Divorce – legal dissolution of a valid marriage health effects of unhappy marriagesResearch has found that the unhappily married were worse off on heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol than both happily married and single women. One study found that couples in high-conflict marriages take longer than the happily married to heal from various wounds – from minor scrapes to surgery societal and demographic factors associated with divorceFamily – many of the family’s traditional functions of child care, protection, and recreation have been taken over by outside institutionsReligion – people who are religious are less likely to divorce. Spouses with the same religion more likely to have stable marriagesLaw – legal assistance easier to obtain. Unclear if the prevalence of divorce has made legal proceedings easier, or if easier legal proceedings made divorce more common. education, income & divorceGenerally, the lower the couple’s educational level and income, the higher the risk for divorceUS Census Bureau: about 36% of women 35-39, with less than 12 years education divorced, compared to about 28% of women with 17+ years of educationnote: the higher the education, the more difficult to marry. But are the marriages more stable if/when they do marry?However, people who have started toward, but failed to complete, a particular degree (regardless of its level), are more likely to divorce than those who complete the degree.Couples below the poverty line are 2x as likely to divorce within 2 years ethnicity & cultureAfrican American couples are 2x as likely to end their marriages as white and Hispanic couples areLargely due to the fact that they are disproportionately poorAs income levels rise, divorce rates for blacks decrease, resembling those for whitesLatinos have relatively low divorce ratesPartly due to the fact that many are Catholic, and Catholicism frowns on divorce personal factors associated with divorce Communication problems Infidelity Constant conflict Emotional abuse Falling out of love Unsatisfactory sex Insufficient income Physical abuse Falling in love with someone else Boredom effects of divorce “Divorce hangover” – an individual is unable to let go of the fact that they got a divorce, reorient themselves as single parents, or develop new friendshipsSeparation dist.

Chapter One Why Asian American Sexual Politics? In 2000, two white men and a white woman in Spokane, Washington, specifically targeted Japanese women in an elaborately planned scheme to kidnap, rape, sodomize, and torture them and to videotape the whole ordeal. According to police reports, the rapists had a sexual fantasy about and fixation with young Japanese women. The three assailants believed that the Japanese women were submissive.[1] In just one month, the predators abducted five Japanese exchange students, ranging in age from eighteen to twenty. Motivated by their sexual biases about Asian women, all three used both their bodies and objects to repeatedly rape—vaginally, anally, and orally—two of the young women for over seven hours.[2] One of the attackers immediately confessed to searching only for Japanese women to torture and rape; eventually, all pled guilty and were convicted.[3] In 2004, American Idol, the most watched TV series in the Nielsen ratings and the only program to have been number one for seven consecutive seasons,[4] premiered the season with an episode that showcased twenty-one-year-old William Hung singing a rendition of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs.” The episode was a collection of the most “talentless” of those who auditioned, and it was if Hung was crowned the “king.” His inability to carry a tune, dance to the beat, or exude any sex appeal made the video go viral on the Internet, and viewers were laughing at him, not with him. He was a perfect fit for the unflattering racial stereotype of the asexual, nerdy Asian American man. Across the blogosphere, race scholars and Asian American men were bemoaning the perpetuation of the racist stereotyping and yet another instance where Asian American men are emasculated in American media. These two examples demonstrate the racial stereotyping of Asians and Asian Americans. The perpetrators in Spokane, Washington, used racist stereotypes to pick their targets. While both being racially “othered,” Asian and Asian American women have been constructed as sexually exotic docile bodies while men have been racially “castrated.” These constructions created a complicated racialized Asian American sexual politics affected by racist-gendered constructions but also “home-culture” expectations. The vignettes and analysis shared in this book are an attempt to look at the nuanced way that constructions can operate in the lives of some Asian Americans. Feminist scholars argue that women's sexuality is socially shaped in ways that sustain men's social and political dominance. I extend this feminist scholarship and argue that Asian American sexuality is socially shaped in ways that maintain social and political dominance for whites, particularly white men. I want to set this stage with the assertions made by Patricia Hill Collins in her seminal work, Black Sexual Politics.[5] Collins defines sexual politics as Chou, Rosalind S..

Chapter9 Abortion Copyright © 2019 W. W. Norton &Company BackgroundAbortion:also called induced abortion; the deliberate termination of a pregnancy by surgical or medical (with drugs) meansTherapeutic abortion:an abortion performed to protect the life or health of the motherConception:the merging of a sperm cell and an ovum into a single cell; also called fertilizationViability:the stage of fetal development at which the fetus is able to survive outside the uterus Abortion: Moral or Legal? Two types of questions:The moral question: Is abortion right?The legal question: What should the law allow? Roe v. Wade (1973)In the first trimester, a woman’s right to an abortion is unrestricted.After the first trimester, a state may regulate (but not ban) abortion to protect the mother’s health.After the fetus becomes viable, the state may regulate or forbid abortions in the interests of “the potentiality of human life” except when abortion is necessary to preserve the woman’s life or health. Moral Theories –1Act-utilitarianism: An abortion is morally right if it results in the greatest overall happiness, everyone considered. If not, an abortion is wrong.Rule-utilitarianism: Generally following a rule, such as “Abortion is not morally permissible except to save the mother’s life,” will maximize happiness. Or, alternatively, the rule could be "Abortion is morally permissible in most cases." Moral Theories –2Kant’s theory (if the fetus is a person): The fetus has rights, and these rights cannot be overridden merely for utility’s sake. In this view, abortion would seem to be rarely justified.Kant’s theory (if the fetus is not a person):The fetus—like any other nonperson—can be used as a means to an end, whereas the mother must be treated as an end in herself. Moral Theories –3Traditional natural law theory: The fetus is a person with full moral rights; it is always morally wrong to directly, intentionally kill the innocent.Doctrine of double effect: An action that has the unintendedside effect of aborting the fetus may be morally acceptable. Moral Arguments –1 A conservative argument:The unborn is an innocent person from conception.It is wrong to kill an innocent person.Abortion is the killing of an innocent person.Therefore, abortion is wrong. To evaluate this argument, we must determine (1) whether the conclusion follows from the premises and (2) whether the premises are true. Moral Arguments –2 A conservative argument that the unborn is an innocent person from conception: No unambiguous point of personhood can be located in fetal development, so the most reasonable option is to identify personhood with conception. Moral Arguments –3 Another conservative argument for personhood at conception:At conception, there is a dramatic increase in the probability that a mature human will result. This boost in probabilitiescomes from the appearance of complete human genetic code (DNA).Therefore, the most plausible view is that personhood begins at conce.

Chapter Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers Summary for Policymakers 2 SPM Introduction This Synthesis Report is based on the reports of the three Working Groups of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), including relevant Special Reports. It provides an integrated view of climate change as the final part of the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). This summary follows the structure of the longer report which addresses the following topics: Observed changes and their causes; Future climate change, risks and impacts; Future pathways for adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development; Adaptation and mitigation. In the Synthesis Report, the certainty in key assessment findings is communicated as in the Working Group Reports and Special Reports. It is based on the author teams’ evaluations of underlying scientific understanding and is expressed as a qualitative level of confidence (from very low to very high) and, when possible, probabilistically with a quantified likelihood (from exceptionally unlikely to virtually certain)1. Where appropriate, findings are also formulated as statements of fact with- out using uncertainty qualifiers. This report includes information relevant to Article 2 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). SPM 1. Observed Changes and their Causes Human influence on the climate system is clear, and recent anthropogenic emissions of green- house gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems. {1} SPM 1.1 Observed changes in the climate system Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen. {1.1} Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850. The period from 1983 to 2012 was likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years in the Northern Hemisphere, where such assessment is possible (medium confidence). The globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature data as calculated by a linear trend show a warming of 0.85 [0.65 to 1.06] °C 2 over the period 1880 to 2012, when multiple independently produced datasets exist (Figure SPM.1a). {1.1.1, Figure 1.1} In addition to robust multi-decadal warming, the globally averaged surface temperature exhibits substantial decadal and interannual variability (Figure SPM.1a). Due to this natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends. As one example, the rate of warming over 1 Each finding is grounded in an evaluation of underlying evidence and agreement. In many cases, a synthesis of evidence and agreement suppo.
